†The U. S. Department of Agriculture says "Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F. means some food poisoning
organisms may survive." (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control
system. It is recommended that you operate the oven for a number of weeks
to become familiar with your new oven's performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat
section. It lists easy Do It Yourself instructions on how to adjust the
thermostat.
